Chapter 384: The Ultimate Defensive Expert
Howard during the magic period, the giant panda must not be able to jump, and the fox brother's bullet speed may not be stronger than Howard's, but considering the little fox's arm span advantage and reaction speed, the fox fairy and Superman can still fight. But Jordan Jr. can't jump Howard, he is not the opponent of the fox brother at all when fighting for the ball in the team, the jump ball is not more than the limit bounce height, what is more important is the bounce speed and arm span and reaction speed.
The Clippers fans in the Staples Arena saw Jordan Jr. go up to fight for the ball with Howard, and the cheers immediately dropped a lot.
Little Jordan, who was eager to try, stood in the middle circle and found that the voices around him suddenly became more than half smaller, and the loss in his heart was indescribable, and there was a feeling of being abandoned by the world. Perhaps it was because of the frustration that Jordan Jr. was half a beat slower to jump after the referee whistle sounded, and as soon as he jumped, the basketball had already been slapped by Howard on his side.
At the beginning of the game, the Magic took the lead in attacking, Nelson opened the game with a three-pointer, and then Howard scored a shot on the inside, causing Jordan Jr. to add two and one, and the Magic opened with a 5-0 lead.
Dunleavy Sr. looked at the table of the two brothers at the Olympics, and in the face of the Magic, he hoped to emulate Canada's one-two-two position, so that Jordan Jr. could resist Howard, and the two brothers had the opportunity to retract the basket and make a mistake in the Monster. But he didn't expect that Jordan Jr.'s defensive ability at the moment was far inferior to Joel. Anthony, his confrontation ability and defensive awareness, it was no fun to resist Howard and wait for support, and when the two brothers arrived, he had already been killed by Howard first.
"Missteps...... Blunder......! β
Dunleavy Sr. soon after the opening game, regretted letting Paul go in the summer. Davis, the latter's strength is strong enough to withstand the monster, and the two brothers' retraction can trap Howard.
There were some mistakes on the defensive end, and Dunleavy Sr. was embarrassed to replace Jordan Jr. immediately, and was ready to make adjustments later.
On the offensive end of the Clippers, the two brothers encountered another bag defense. This season, both of them have averaged more than 20 points per game, and their attack power is too high, although the opponents know that the two will definitely pay the price, but most teams will try to pack them first. If the Clippers' perimeter players don't shoot accurately, they can continue to wrap up the two brothers. If the Clippers' outside shot is accurate, then cancel the package, otherwise they will be like the Rockets, and they will be brushed out of a triple-double by Brother Panda.
Afflaro received the ball from Ji Guoqiu, but lost the shot; Then Billups also missed on the outside; The third time, the fox brother forced himself and hit a piece of iron, and the Clippers failed to achieve three consecutive outside attacks.
Kenny. Smith saw Howard beat Jordan Jr. with his back again, and said with a smile: "The backbone of the Magic team is Superstar Howard, who is getting better, but other players such as Lewis and Turkoglu have also increased the fans' interest in this team."
Magic Johnson said: "I agree, this year they also added a Konnett from West Kentucky who is suitable to play two guards. Lee, who stands at 6-foot-5 and has a strong physique, is a good defensive player and may be the perfect thing this team needs to keep going in the East. β
Charles. Barkley came up with a short report, saying: "Their problem is that they have too many contracts for ordinary players, and even if the manager of the Magic team doesn't want a salary, I don't think Sterling will hire him." β
The magician laughed, "We don't have to!" β
The score on the court was 7:0, and the elder Dunleavy finally couldn't help but call a timeout, replaced the abused little Jordan, replaced Garcia with an arm span of 210cm to defend Turkoglou, and replaced the two brothers back to the inside.
"We're also using a bag on the defensive end, and we can't let Howard continue to score points." The elder Dunleavy was unhappy and decided to treat others the way he did.
The Clippers made a fool again this time, this timeout, the elder Dunleavy saw the role of Lewis, as soon as the two brothers entered the Warcraft, Mr. Yuan immediately pulled outside the three-point line, two three-pointers turned the score into 13:2, and the Magic led the Clippers by 11 points at the beginning.
Barkley was also slapped in the face at this time, his big ass was still hard-mouthed, and he said: "Our Mr. Billions did a good job today, but I want to say that there are countless players in the league who can complete this task, and you can't use Nowitzki's salary to sign a player like Kukoc, right?" β
The Magic smiled: "European Magicians are more like Turkoglou, I don't like him very much, I hate his big mouth, but I agree with what you said, just like the Lakers can't renew Bynum with 15 million, only real superstars can deserve the top salary, and now many players are getting salaries that don't match their own strength." β
Kenny. Hearing this, Smith learned from Kukoc's tone and said: "There are not so many stars in the league, in my opinion, the stars are Garnett, Duncan, O'Neal, James, and the panda can also be counted as one." I think only the kind of players who can take the whole team up a notch are stars, not just their individual ability. β
As soon as the voices of several people fell, Ji Guoqiu used the turning feint on the court to make a defensive foul on Howard!
Giant Panda has more and more low-post feints this season, and his technical moves are not as coherent and chic as Scola's performance for the time being, but the practicality is not bad, and it is not a matter of a handful to practice dream steps, but to first hone several technical moves such as low-level steps, virtual shaking, and feints to achieve a handy of Cheng dΓΉ, and then combine them.
Dream Foot is not a technique, but a combination of several internal techniques, just like the relationship between the Nine Yin True Scripture and the Nine Yin White Bone Claw. These kinds of insider techniques are practiced casually, and they are completely enough to break through the rivers and lakes. If the talent is good enough to practice it all, it is a real All-Star. Of course, the most rare thing is to combine these techniques into a finishing move - Dream Foot.
Once this stunt is successful, you will be able to dominate the martial arts from now on, and you will be invincible in the world!
In the first quarter, just when Clippers fans were anxious that their team was beaten 13:2, Ji Guoqiu scored continuously on the inside, he used delicate techniques and realistic feints to make Howard, who was full of strength, very uncomfortable, and Warcraft got two fouls in half a quarter, and could only return to the bench with all his strength and be depressed.
In the Staples Arena, the cheers of the Clippers fans made Howard even more uncomfortable, he was able to form a crushing advantage in the face of Ji Guoqiu last season, but the opponent's several attacks just now made him feel like he met Duncan, but he was not beaten into two crimes so easily when he met Duncan, he couldn't figure out how he could be so easy to commit two crimes?
Howard didn't know that although Ji Guoqiu had his back to him, he saw his every move very clearly, and he could cheat fouls according to his defensive actions.
Now many experts in the NBA have been researching, why are the two brothers ridiculously strong in abusing vegetables, unless they meet experienced and top-skilled superstars such as Duncan, Garnett, Yao Ming, Nowitzki, and Stoudemire, others will be beaten by the two even Bosh and Boozer, who has declining ability?
This is, of course, the credit of telepathy, and the opponent that the two can't beat for the time being, can't be beaten by telepathy. But as long as you can take advantage of it, telepathy can infinitely magnify this advantage. Howard is the tragedy here, he relies too much on his body on the defensive end, his defensive skills are actually very average, and it is easy to eat feints, so the giant panda Tong guΓ² telepathy directly makes him full.
In the first quarter, the score was 23:24, and the Magic led by 11 points in the first three minutes, but the Clippers then fought back and chased the difference to only one point after the first quarter.
The Magic team has now formed a strict Howard dependence on the defensive end, although the defensive end of Warcraft is easy to eat feints, but in addition to the two brothers who have cheats, even if Duncan and Garnett meet Howard, although they can cheat a few fouls, but the corresponding game will also be rewarded by Howard A lot of hot pot, they don't have the telepathy of the two brothers to guarantee not to miss, once the cheat can't be fouled, can't shake Howard, then they should suffer.
Ji Guoqiu scored 6 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block in the first quarter, Ji Guoqiu had 5 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block, Billups had 3 points and 1 assist, and Crawford had 6 points.
Howard had 6 points, 2 rebounds and 1 block, Turkoglu had 5 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists, Lewis had 8 points and 2 rebounds, and Connett had 2 rebounds. Lee 2 points.
In the second quarter, Big Van Gundy directly replaced Howard, but this time Dunleavy Sr. did not let Jordan Jr. defend, but replaced Jared. Jeffries and Amir. Johnson's interior combo, using Jeffries to defend Howard.
Jeffries is 211cm tall, and his real height is about the same as that of a little fox, so let him play center? He doesn't have the strength, and he doesn't have the technical moves that a center should have; Playing power forward? He can't fight, he can't bear it; What about small forwards? He has so few offensive means that he barely plays on the inside, can only concede a few mid-ranges, and his ball handling and outside shooting are terrible.
Despite so many shortcomings, I am not afraid, I can mix a contract with an annual salary of five million in the NBA, even if it is offered by brainless New York, it also shows that Jeffries still has some specialties and is a bit unique.
Known as the "ultimate defensive expert," Jeffries averaged 1.27 offensive fouls per 40 minutes, ranking first in the league, and was agile on his feet, good at grappling and harassment, and the kind of player on the defensive end who could improve the defensive ability of the entire team.
Dunleavy Sr. played him and his two brothers together in practice, and three strikers over 210cm tall stood on the field but enough to block an 18-foot area. The cooler player has played an incredible role in the Clippers system, and once he plays a joint defense at the No. 3 position, he has used his height advantage to assist the two brothers in the task of supporting the defense, and he has done a better job than Garcia and Barnes. If it's a defensive-specific team, such as a team with average shooting but a strong impact, he'll be a wonder player for the Clippers.
This is also the reason why Dunleavy Sr. is not so eager to trade Marion, it is good to have hackers to join, if not, they now have enough forward strength, Garcia, Barnes, Jeffries three is enough to deal with all teams.
Maybe that's Kenny. Smith said that the reason why the two brothers are barely superstars now is because many role players have come to the Clippers and have improved and played to their strengths, which is the superstar temperament of the two.
Howard met a skinny Jeffries in the second quarter and hit three consecutive shots on the inside, which can be called a big blow.
The elder Dunleavy endured and did not change the formation, he was waiting for Jeffries's performance, it didn't matter if he failed three or even four times, but as long as he succeeded in causing Howard to commit a foul, the monster would not be able to play again in this quarter.
8 minutes and 40 seconds in the second quarter, Howard attacked Jeffries in the low post for the fourth time, Howard, who was already a little crazy, didn't find that he was getting closer and closer to the trap, Jeffries is a player with a very high basketball IQ, otherwise he would not be the strongest foul maker in the league, Jeffries is even more powerful than Battier's skill!
Howard dribbled with his back and suddenly turned around to break through, but he didn't expect Jeffries to predict in advance this time, standing on his breakthrough route, after the two made physical contact, the fake fall expert explained very clearly on his feet, and fell backwards with a scream!
"Toot!"
The referee made an offensive foul gesture, and finally shook the Magic team in the half, and Howard attacked the foul!
Big Van Gundy was covering his head on the sidelines, he had seen Howard play three attacks in a row before, and he couldn't close his mouth with excitement, and he knew that something might go wrong? Sure enough, the fourth time Howard happily received his third foul, the second quarter was less than four minutes into the start, how to play the next eight minutes?
Old Dunleavy waved his hand from the sidelines, telling the two brothers to hurry up and get ready to play, the monster went down, and they wanted to try to open the score in one go and end the game in one go.
"After going up, I changed to hitting people, and this time I can't let Lewis hit another three-pointer." The elder Dunleavy found that Howard only needs to play off the court, and then it becomes extremely simple to deal with the Magic team, which is why Howard is like a senior blue-collar worker in the Magic, but he can get the top salary, he does have a certain amount of dominance, in or not, the Magic are completely two teams.
The last such player was called Big Ben, and Warcraft is more like Ben. An enhanced version of Wallace, taller, faster, and more impactful.
Once the Magic don't have Howard on the court, only Turkoglou and Nelson can play with the ball, and it will be much easier for the Clippers to control it, and now the two teams are not at the same level.
After Howard went off, the Clippers did not continue to use Jeffries, but reinstated the regular lineup: Dragic, Crawford, Barnes, Ji Guoyi, Ji Guoqiu. R1152
